The past couple of weeks we've been getting ready, and one of the things I love to do in preparation is label everything with Mabel's Labels. I've been using these labels on the boys' possessions for a couple of years now. I can say that they are very durable - they can go through numerous washings and there is no sign of wear - they retain their vibrant colors, they don't come off, and they do not fray.
They offer various packages, but we like the Ultimate Back to School Combo. It comes with 3 different styles of labels, plus a couple of metal hang tags that are perfect for backpacks and winter jackets.
You can pick your colors and a small image for your labels. Since Pierce is so into robots, it was an easy choice for him this year.
Disclaimer: I received a set of labels for review purposes. The opinions above are my own.
I hope they all had a wonderful day
ReplyDeleteI hope they had a great day, and that Momma's heart made it through in one piece. =)
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa I still remember those moments and it has been a long long time:) Hug B
ReplyDeleteyou are going to have a empty home. School starts here next week.
ReplyDeletedat zier er heel goed uit.
ReplyDeleteYour boys are just the cutest EVER!! Sounds and looks like the perfect labels for them.
ReplyDeleteThe labels are so cool! Wishing the boys a great year!
ReplyDeleteThey look ready for their new school year. These are cool labels..I used Sharpies on my kid's items when they were this age. (back in the stone age) LOL
ReplyDeleteNow don't blink, because time will fly so fast and they will be going off to college before you know it!
Oh my goodness they are soooooo big! I wish them great success. It is a big deal to go to school full time.
ReplyDeleteGives you a little time.
Mine went back Monday and now I have a little vacation!
oh, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteGod bless them! I know about those heart strings, Lisa. It's like you just can't understand how quickly the time goes.
ReplyDeleteLove the labels, what a great idea. :)
I can remember that sinking feeling too! It never goes away...you'll get repeatedly over their lifetime!...:)JP
ReplyDeletethe labels are cool!
ReplyDeleteand I bet the boys loved them too!
We hope they had a great day at school-- what a cute photo!

Cool labels, so interesting! Sometimes I feel so hard to see my chilldren went to new places without me on their side
ReplyDeleteThese labels are awesome! I want them, and I am an old lady!! The first picture is just beautiful, that is one to fame. My son takes a picture of our granddaughter on the first day of school, he takes one every year in the same place with the same pose.
ReplyDeleteI bet you had a few tears. It's hard to believe the twins are starting school. :)
ReplyDeleteThat photo of all of them getting on the bus tugs at my heartstrings.
ReplyDeleteThe labels are a great idea.
Oh, Lisa, I know that must have been hard and happy all at the same time, to see them get on that bus. They are such sweeties, and I know they are well prepared. I hope they all have great years!!
ReplyDeleteLove Pierce's peace bag. :-)
They all look so sweet getting on the bus!
ReplyDeleteAw, look at 'em getting on the bus. I love that picture.
ReplyDeleteWe label everything here too. Everything. :)
What a great moment the boys will all be able to laugh about and remember forever...boarding the school bus together for that first day of school. My Kindergarten teacher (looking back at my class photo, she reminds me of Catwoman from from the Batman movie series) switched to First Grade. So I had her two years in a row. I thought that was pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of those labels before, they'd probably work well to label some of my horse stuff too. Hope they have fun at school! Probably a quiet house during days now :(
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteYou've done well finding all these sponsors! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteAwww...they look so cute in that first photo! They all look like brothers. I bet you'll miss the twins being home. It will be nice having time to work, or just for yourself.
ReplyDeleteThree precious little boys --getting ready for school. It's smart to label everything like you did...
ReplyDeleteDid it make you sad to see all three boys leave home that first morning???? That's a big change for you.... These 'passages' in life can be hard... Just wait 'til they leave home and go away to college... That was HARD too.
Hugs,
Betsy
Love your bird feeder in the blog about this one... CUTE...
Aw, the boys looks so fine!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, I'm sure I'll want to label everything as well when our kid is old enough.
